Most illegal immigrants entered the country legally and are overstaying on expired visas.
Given the federal government is actively revoking and eliminating massive amounts of visas, they are essentially creating "illegal" immigrants with the stroke of a pen.
If people actually cared about stopping people entering the country illegally, it would be as easy as extending all resident visas and these communities would be happy to turn on the bad actors they moved here to run from.
Because I care very little about "legality" of what people do to a virtual entity that we all call "the united states", with all its made up rules.
I learned it from the US itself, and how it treats the rest of the world. Legality is optional and subject to political considerations, and desire for money and power.
